Abstract: During the last decade of the 20^th century,the artificial breeding of Larimichthys crocea accomplished its industrialization in China.Since then,the breeding scale and industrial division of the L.crocea industry have been continuously upgraded,forming a perfected industrial chain covering supplying the fishery necessities(fry,feeding stuff,facilities,etc.) and acquisition,trade,processing and export of the marketable fish.The supporting industries such as logistics,catering and tourism have also been gradually formed.In this report,industry experts and practitioners organized by the L.crocea branch of the China Fisheries Association conducted a comprehensive investigation of China's L.crocea industry status in 2020,then summarized and analyzed it from ten aspects:seedling breeding,farm distribution and output,feeding stuff usage,major epidemic diseases,quality and safety,yields and market,Corona Virus Disease-19 impact,brand culture construction,supporting policies,financial and insurance services,and existing problems;gived countermeasures and suggestions on the industrial development for reference.The survey results showed that there were some problems in the development of L.crocea industry in China,such as low coverage rate of fine varieties,illegal drug use,low level of intensive and deep processing. Suggestions were put forward to promote the healthy and sustainable development of L.crocea industry in China by vigorously developing seed industry projects,standardizing industrial behaviors,increasing the proportion of medium-sized products,improving the processing rate,winning government support and creating industrial culture.
